FCC rules had forbidden a newspaper to own a television or radio station in the same market unless they receive a waiver from the FCC. If passed by the FCC, the rules would be relaxed to allow for cross-ownership in the top 20 markets.

Telephone lines were opened for viewer comments. Advertisements from Senators Edwards and Clinton were shown.
